Hi, Good To hear You've Chosen A Coachman Acadia , Good Spec& Not Over Expensive, We Bought Ours Two Years Ago And Still Love It, We Did Have A Few Niggles From New But All Sorted , Never Considered Buying A Motorhome As We Dont Go Abroad Or Tour To Far North.👍

Great video we’ve just got a caravan

See ur walk omg. U best get a cab/taxie back to caravan site… haha. I’m only jokeing with u pair. Love to see more videos from use ❤

Get a permanent tow bar fitted as detachable ones can come off and fail sometimes. 😊

What was the campsite called you stayed in st Ives please?

We have just bought our first 2nd hand caravan (coachman, after lots of research) so exited, had a few days away to test everything out. Love it.

Hi, I’m thinking of the rogue alloys for my motorhome with the BFG all terrains, how do they perform in the wet? Cheers Ian

Your Cornwall trip videos are brilliant. We've loved watching them as we're Cornwall addicts ourselves. I really missed the promise of episode 4 which is my fav part of Cornwall.

Where are you? Hope you are both ok 😊 been watching your videos, you are both great, but nothing for 5 months? How is it going with the caravan? ❤

Wholeheartedly agree. This is a brilliantly kept site that will be your benchmark after you stay there. The weekend after our stay, we stayed at their sister site in Llanberis. Another spotlessly clean well run site, with good sized pitches and facilities. Morris sites are our favourites! :)

been quiet since you had the caravan any upcoming blogs coming

Are you still make content for the channel ?.

Just found you .. we always had caravans & tents then for 7 years we had a motorhome which was Awesome..but we stayed on site until less walking ..then we brought a VW T4 campervan we had that 14 months which was Awesome camping in it but it’s getting cold now so we brought a 2 berth caravan & we luvit .plus we still use the T4 for towing it so best of both worlds now .. we have subscribed to you as well .. cheers Chris & Sammy

What did you end up selling the F60 for in the end if you don't mind me asking?

Can't believe it only comes with 1 socket! I think we've got about 3 in our sprinter. I think looking at your review it's actually put me off this model a bit.

When you got locked out you should have tried to get in the window lol

Good choice, Coachman I think are a bit better built. We have 545 but next time would be a 575, 675 or 875, all same layout. 😊😊😊

Best MH review I’ve ever watched. Thank you both. What have you changed to?

Welcome to the dark side 😂 we love our coachman as does our little Frenchie, Belle. They are great vans . Hope you guys have a great time in yours!

SUBSCRIBED - What a great in depth review, so I am watching this as I am looking at one of these vans next week in France a 2020 model, also I have organised to see a Chausson 530 with a drop down bed at the same time, both are 6m, can I ask why did you guys not prefer a drop down bed? what wrong with the drop down bed concept, noisy when travelling, comfort? I would appreciate your point of view on this. Merci

What is the name of the padstow campsite please

Well … I’ve watched 3 of your video posts and they have ALL been excellent. So Thankyou for that. You can’t really go wrong with Cornwall, it’s so scenic and simply beautiful in parts. It was a gentle & natural journey you took us on and for me outstanding. Well done ! I look forward to more.

🎉

Quick question you mention depreciation on motorhomes what is it typically 20% first year ? Is that a good guess? I’m looking at caravans (£40k ish) and motorhomes ( £100k plus) as a 1 st time buyer.

We bought a mororhome and regret it and miss our caravan. So much more flexibility with a caravan in the uk!

Great video guys, I have a question to ask, when you drove the vehicle on the UK roads was it very noisy with rattles, creeks and squeaks? as i am considering buying one

What a stunning caravan, congratulations

Hi guys. Best decision for the UK is a caravan. Been caravanning since the 80s loved the great adventures. Have heard some horror stories with motorhomers as you probably know about especially in Scotland. Love that part of Dorset. Stayed at Highlands End a couple of times. Bit to commercial for us now and to many tents. West Bay is great. Brilliant walking everywhere. Bridport is a nice town as well. Just walk out of your caravan to your car and go anywhere you like, even Tesco and not worry about the height barrier.😉 Hope you love it guys as we have. Stay safe and enjoy. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete and Su....

Motorhomes are good for people who like to travel and enjoy the outdoors far too much. They, as you say are your only means of transport so you have to move to visit different places or use public transport. Caravans are a different breed and a different lifestyle altogether.. realx and enjoy the site and potter off to view your surroundings in the car. Also you have much more space in a caravan (unless you have a large Motorhome). so you can make it more 'homely'.Adding an awning doubles your space too. We looked at buying a Motorhome within our budget but space-wise, it was a no brainer. Caravans have much more to offer in terms of layout and space. It's all 'horses for courses' of course, It all depends on your ideals and the lifestyle you want to follow. Good luck your with your new venture and enjoy it all.

I've just subscribed to your channel 😀 😊 ☺️ 😅I love caravan 🚐

Yes you both have made the right decision to move sale your motor home and buy yourself a caravan 🚐

How do you lower the saftey block on the drop down bed is it a screw if so what size and type 🤔

I nearly did the same with a Bailey. I love the styling and that beautiful front window. I was just about to do the deal with the salesman and asked if I could just do my own damp check to be sure? On finding damp readings of over 60% in 2 places, I walked away.

With a caravan, you always have to book a pitch.

Great video. Hi I'm a new subscriber I'm from the UK. X x Oh my goodness I couldn't have walked through that wind, I'm asthmatic and that would have took my breath. Xx

New sub here. Our van a lot older but has been kept in superb condition - just making new curtains at mo as interior very “brown” 😂

We bought one 2 days ago!

I think it all depends on what type of touring you want to do, I prefer a night here and a night there and that’s a lot of hard work with a caravan

hi was just watching your cornwall trip great blog was really looking forward to part 4 but cant find it anywhere did you put that one on

Great to see you back... 👍 Did you lose any money am on you gorgeous Burstner MH 😍🍾 and did the aluminium skin cause you any issues?

Love your channel,really interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing! PS can I ask,is that a rolex on your arm?

We’re first timers too, just over a year now, upgraded our van from a Swift Transverse bed to a Coachman single beds absolutely love the Coachman. We were in Dorset in April too and visited Charmouth beach and West Bay. Lovely area, we’re not as fit as you two with the walking/hiking but we have two small dogs who love a run on a beach. Enjoy your van, we love caravanning wish we could have done it years ago! X

Hi happy caravaners! You have done exactly what Norma, my wife, and I have very recently done. We have had a Hymermobile for the past 17 years and to be honest she was getting a little long in the tooth (34years) with mechanical things popping up more often. We are both 76 years old and we were getting a bit fed up with the expense and hastle of Tax, M.O.T. Scorning etc.. so we decided Togo for a Caravan. Not our first ever one I might add. We did have one back in the early eighties and used it every weekend travelling around the country participating in a particular sporting event which I won’t go into here. So we have gone full circle so to speak. Your reasons are exactly the same as ours. Longer stays verses short hops due to the luxury of having a separate vehicle and using the caravan as more of a base from which to enjoy a wider range of what an area has to offer. We both wish you a happy and enjoyable time and from your explanation of ‘why’ it is obvious in your case that you have done the right thing We hope to cross paths somewhere in the future. All the very best from Terry and Norma

As you have found out, Burford and, of course, the Cirencester sites are lovely. The Moreton in the Marsh Caravan and Motorhome site is ideally located, just a short walk into Moreton in Marsh and some lovely eating places and pubs. Nice video, you both come across as sincere.

Great choice in Caravan, the Coachman range, I had two, the first in 2016, the Coachman 560 VIP and the last one in 2018, the Coachman 575, with the same layout as yours. I think Caravan wise the best layout. I sold my caravan in 2022 and am now retired and looking at a motorhome or campervan (larger type), mainly as it's just me and two dogs. The setting up was too much like hard work on your own in the caravan, and I often would see motorhomes just roll up, and within 15 minutes, they would be having a cup of tea. So in the process of working on which will suit me best, I have bought, the tow car, a little Brabus Smart car, which I love, if I decide to tow. What I have learned from my old career is not to rush in to buy and do my homework, as so many people buy a campervan/motorhome and decide it has the wrong layout. It can be an expensive learning experience if you do. I only changed my caravan because the newer shape had just arrived, and the upgrade was very low, as the price on the older shape would have dropped quickly.

Thanks for information very useful in our decision py

Did you find you had difficulty parking your motor home? We currently have a caravan and are considering buying a small motor home 6 metre or less in length. I am interested to hear your thoughts on the parking concerns.

Should check out glaswegian metropolitan area devils pools pitwatter runs red🎉

We like the caravan because of that freedom to set up the van then we are free to travel around and then come back open the door and put the kettle on. We have friends who have a campervan who we go away with and they benefit from once pitched up they jump in our car to go out and about

You guys are killing me here, we're caravaners but what we do really means we should be motorhomers (like to do 3,500 mile road trips) so we found your channel yesterday and really enjoyed your videos inspiring us and thought "go on then let's watch one more before bed" it was your 'we've bought a caravan' video...couldn't believe it😅 we are so on the fence it actually hurts my head. Idea of selling the caravan makes me feel sick but all those miles towing aint fun. Hope u enjoy your new setup and really enjoyed the vids
